Category:VS Function Reference:Criteria

List of VectorScript functions in Criteria category:

Note

All Criteria do not support variables stored in structures (tested under VW 11.5 through 12.5). The following example shows the failure and a possible workaround:

{ try on a drawing with some lines in class 'none' }
PROCEDURE xxxxx;
	TYPE
		whatever = STRUCTURE
			foo : STRING;
		END;
	VAR
		test : whatever;
		classVal, tryTrick	: STRING;
BEGIN
	classVal := 'None';
	test.foo := 'None';
	tryTrick := test.foo; { redirect the value }
	
	AlrtDialog(concat('Total LINES in class None using classVal: ', count((C= classVal) & (T=LINE)))); { all lines in class None }
	AlrtDialog(concat('Total LINES in class None using test.foo: ', count((C= test.foo) & (T=LINE)))); { doesn't work }
	AlrtDialog(concat('Total LINES in class None using tryTrick: ', count((C= tryTrick) & (T=LINE)))); { works }
END;

Run(xxxxx);
